VOLUNTEER AT FLURRY
Volunteers are expected to work at least 6 hours during the festival or 8 before/after it in exchange for a full-festival ticket. If volunteer spaces fill, you may get on a waitlist for any late positions that open up, in which case your festival ticket will be refunded.
| WAIT LIST: Although most of our crews are currently full, positions will open up before the festival. Please select the Wait List if you would like to volunteer but are not seeing a suitable position currently open. You may be tapped for any position which opens due to a cancellation, and must be willing to work where needed. Placement is not guaranteed, but we will reach out to you if a position opens. If you have purchased a ticket and are chosen from the Wait List, your ticket will be refunded. If you are on the Wait List, we may also reach out to you just before or during the festival. If you are available and able to help with pre- and post- festival tasks, please indicate that in your application. |
